Careum Auditorium
Your events hub in Zurich’s university district
Whether you are looking to hold a conference, seminar or workshops – with its modern architecture, the Careum Auditorium is the ideal location for any occasion. The Auditorium’s flexible spatial concept means that it can be adapted to suit individual needs.
Spanning a total area of 470 square metres, the Careum Auditorium can accommodate up to 500 people, depending on the seating arrangement. For medium-sized and smaller events, the hall can be split into two halves – Auditorium 1 and 2 – or four smaller rooms – the red, blue, green and purple rooms. Soundproof walls ensure that you can enjoy your event undisturbed without any background noise.
Our Foyer is the perfect place if you are looking to greet your guests in style or share coffee breaks or intimate drinks receptions. It can, however, also be used as an exhibition space for your events.
